is also a regular participant in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's seminar on

relationship between manufacturing and services in advanced economies. This was
the subject of his book "De-industrialisation and Foreign Trade" (CUP 1987), written
jointly with the late John Wells and of a number of later articles. He was one of the
first economists to argue that manufacturing employment in the UK was too large for
its needs and that sustained economic growth would involve a transfer of people
from manufacturing jobs into service employment. However, he now believes that
the decline of manufacturing employment in the UK has been excessive, both in
comparison with other country and in relation to our current needs.
